Writing teachers encounter hundreds of problems. Our goal in the seminar will be to engage several of these as they are concentrated into five practical problems of study. The course will introduce students to scholarly research on basic writers, sentence, and paragraph development, teaching the rhetorical genres, assignment design, and essay evaluation. Students will then be prepared to prepare a research project that leads to the design a set of lesson plans on a particular problem that puts their research into teaching practice. Ultimately, this course will teach students the basics of designing and implementing a college writing course.
